Nerf a FCOB fight!

[Eidolon]

I remember stepping into FCOB week 1. I remember the first time we cleared T10, we started making jokes about how SE would nerf the turn. For fun, how would you change the fights if you were nerfing them?

I.e.

t10
Heat lightning no longer applies vulnerability!
Adds no longer tether
Wild charge can be soaked with any class without CD
Heat lightning now increases damage dealt rather than inflicting vulnerability

You had to remind me... This makes me sad that this isn't even a joke thread and that SE will be nerfing it once the lockout is removed and it is put into DF you can expect the complaints to roll in about how difficult it is and lo and behold ez mode.

If they were to nerf all adds in FcoB, each turn would become significantly easier. Only real exception would be t13, as dealing with Flatten/Flares/Ahk Morn is still a tight heal and tank check.

Edit: But to be specific
T10) Adds no longer get tethered for being too close, so now you can AoE zerg them.
T11) Adds no longer tether, damage mitigation removed. Tethers don't instantly kill your partner.
T12) Bennus deal less damage, Rebirth does less damage.
T13) reduce hp on all adds... not much else you can do outside lower Bahamut's damage.

It kinda was meant as a lighthearted set of jokes /nerfs. I mean, may as well poke fun at the inevitable

They never nerf the last turn of any coil except for echo but I can see them at lest nerfing the health of the adds in T12 but please keep it that they need to be spread out.

T5 they reduced conflagration and dread HP iirc.

T9 I've seen double meteors not one shot the party but mechanically you're right.

QQ... Meanwhile I still haven't cleared T9...

I do believe they mentionned that there will be no echo boost right as the lockout is removed, maybe at a later time, but not in this next patch.

Actually the double meteors are supposed to one shot the party but it's current glitched and sometimes only kills like 3-4 people instead of everyone.

I guess I don't mind nerfs on FCoB as long as I get my savage coils... mmm savage coils.

You guys are taking this way too seriously for a light hearted / joke topic
